High-Level Lighting Layout Concept

Form Factor Concepting

Headlights

Screenshots

High-level headlight architecture consists of thermoformed polycarbonate lens mounting to the flanges on the front of the aerobody. Headlight housing (material tbd) will be mounted to the rear of the aerobody panel (mounting method tbd). Light diffusion elements for DRL and turn signal to be housed inside the headlight housing. Electronics to be housed inside housing/on rear of housing.

Layed-out initial CAD model architecture:

Headlight Lens to be thermoformed polycarbonate and will be glued and fit to aerobody flanges (side panel, hood, panel, bottom panel)
Headlight Housing to be 3D printed in sections (relatively large part) and will be fastened or glued to interior of aerobody

Took screenshots of CAD and added to confluence. Came to conclusion that headlight has the potential to be really big (see poorly dimensioned “drawing”). Will need to determine what maximum feasible size of lighting elements are for DRL and front turn signal

#LightingTaskforce meeting liked the “non-bulby” look.
A common theme between “boring” headlights: looks too bulby. lol.
Follow-up to investigate feasibility.
